    Your Best Work is an Expression of Yourself

    I love Axle's creative mind how he is sharing his genius with the world. Designer, Creator, Artist who loves stories, telling stories, and designing solutions. Axle loves to to express himself with his mind and hands. He also has a love for mass production and that is where he shines in his profession as an Industrial Designer. His focus is on appearance, functionality and the ability to then manufacture said products. This interview is real and raw as he shares openly his struggle with mental well being as a creative in the corporate environment. I personally thank him for his willingness to share his process in such a vulnerable way. Axle you are my hero!

    I'm Going to Say Bad Words

    The power of words. My thoughts on the meaning and power certain words can have. As a creative I have come to see that my thoughts around words can have lasting effects on me and my journey as an artist and a human. This is my first attempt at a solo episode. A "mini-sode" if you will. From time to time I plan to do this type of episode to give to a glimpse into my brain and creative process.  Let me know what you think and if you can relate.

    It's Got A Little Secret

    You are in for a treat with my guest today.  Tessa Brown of tessaleeart.com is a painter and a writer.  Her medium of choice is oil painting.  Love and spirituality are what drive her creativity. She is fascinated by the way humans are connected to one another and with nature on a deep level. Tessa is married to her partner and best friend Taylor and they have 3 kids together. They currently live in Idaho and love the outdoors. Tessa's mom is one of my dearest friends and so I have known Tessa for a long time, but it wasn't until we both were pursuing creative endeavors that I have come to know her as a fellow artist and all around beautiful human being.  In talking with Tessa you can feel how art truly feeds her soul, is an outlet for expressing emotions and has led her to a path of self discovery she never expected .  Don't miss my Show & Tell Page  https://www.j-coterie.com/mtmbtmpodcast Links: https://tessaleeart.com/ https://www.instagram.com/tessaleeart/   Find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jcoterie/  Mentioned in the episode Dance of the Dissident Daughter by Sue Monk Kidd Burlington House Cartoon by Leonardo da Vinci The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt by Riel Nason

    Everyone wanted to be Judy

    With October being Breast Cancer Awareness month it only seemed fitting for my very first episode to be about my mom. Breast cancer took her from us far to early and I did not get to interview her about her craft. What's the next best thing? I'll interview my sister and she will give the answers she thinks mom would. The premise of my podcast is to spotlight artists and makers that I am inspired by. Hands down my mother Judy was the first and most influential artisan in my life. Mom we love you! https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-awareness-month
